It absolutely is a good idea. Those who believe they can write a bug
tracking system in a week or month or year must be extremely talented
and have nothing else to do. I'd suggest they should dedicate their
abilities to fixing bugs instead. Fixing bugs in the bugtracking
system itself isn't a shame either. It's a shame though to not honour
the marvelous steady and patient approach that Richard has taken.

Thank you, Richard. Please keep up your humor. And your fine work too.
I see the critical phase of the system is now over and I hope people
will start contributing their ideas by submitting code to it. You are
the man to integrate these patches, I presume.

I'd suggest to workinggroupize and pumkingify the development system.
Well, thia apparently has happened already. You should be the first
pumpking unless you can name a candidate that is willing and able to
take that role.

Weird kind of fun, but you must admit, it woke up the masses to join
forces as they did. Thanks SC. But now's the time to revoke.

Thanks again. I just joined bugmongers and hope to be of help
occasionally.
